Pat, have you tried "acidophilus"?  I would think that the
continuous use of "Immodium" on a daily basis would not 
be healthy. Also the "colostrum" that someone suggested
should show an improvement. Pete

Got some  Natren Healthy Trinity probiotics for son who
has irritable bowel.   VERY expensive, but arrived with
bubble wrap, cold pack, and totally  surrounded with
styrofoam.  He's only used about 5 but says he has  to
quit....it causes horrible foul gas.  Anyone else had
that  problem?  He's trying to wean himself off
Immodium, it's been like he  needs more and more now.
